The transverse spacing of ‘wheels shall be taken as 1800 mm, A dynamic load allowance shall be considered as specified in Article 3.6.2 3.6,1.24 Design Lane Load ‘The design lane load shall consist of a load of 9.3 ‘N/mm uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direetion Transversely, the design lane load shall be assumed to be uniformly distributed over a 3000-mm width, The force cffects from the design lane load shall not be subject to a ddynamie load allowance. 36.1.2. Tire Comact Area The tire contact area of a wheel consisting of one or ‘wo tires shal be assumed to be a single rectangle, whose ‘width is 510 mm and whose length is 250 mm, The tire pressure shall be assumed to be uniformly listributed over the contact area. The tre pressure shall be assumed to be distributed as follows: On continuous surfaces, uniformly over the specified contact area, and + Oninterrupted surfaces, uniformly over the atual contaet area within the footprint withthe pressure increased in the ratio of the specified to actual contact areas C3.6.1.2.5 The area load applies only to the design truck and tandem. For other design vehicles, the tie contact area should be determined by the engineer As a guideline for other truck loads, the tire area in min? may be calculated from the following dimensions: ire width = P/142. 165y(1 + 144/100) load factor IM = dynamic load allowance percent (© 2008 by the American Assacton of State Highway and Teenspotation iis, AL hts resrved, Dupcaton sa vioton of apalcabe law
